    NX12 changing units

    Is there a way to change units on the fly in NX12? In the past you could change it under analysis tab-units. That is no longer there. Help please! We get files that are metric, but our shop wants to measure values in inches. I would like to leave the native file metric and not convert the...

    NX mold wizard stock size

    Does anyone else have an issue with Mold Wizard stock size listing the diameter but changing the number to the radius? We have not been able to nail down when or why. It doesn't do it every time or every file, or even every part in the BOM of the same file. We use the same seed file for every...

    Mold Wizard tap drill not matching UG standard tapped hole

    Our programmers here are using a program to recognize our tapped holes. I am getting in trouble because the Mold wizard tap drill is not the same as the UG tapped hole function.

    Metric to inch file conversion

    You know this is a simple statement that shows I get stuck in one direction some times. "Why not create a new Inch start part and start your parts in the proper units?" Thank you looslib. The fact is, the wrong units where applied because I directly opened a parasolid or stp instead of...

    Metric to inch file conversion

    Where I work, we are working on nx 8.0.3.4. I have been using the UG conversions file to get a file from mm to inches. Now I have NX 10 loaded on my computer. If I use the conversion program it spits the new inch file out in 10, but I still need to work in 8. Is there a way to change this...

    Breaking links in an assembly

    You are the man John! I figured it had to be there somewhere. Yes I just wanted to break the links, not remove them or the rest of the history. I found the interpart link browser. Worked great. It was currently hidden. I can not find the Relationship browser. Where is that? Thanks again.

    Breaking links in an assembly

    Thanks gani009, but I am trying to keep the history if possible. Doing that also loses all the taps. I have to go back and redo all my tapped holes with a symbolic thread.

    Breaking links in an assembly

    Is there a simple way to break all the links in an Assembly? For years I have used UG and created what I call a proper tree. I am at a new company and have been told that I cannot have geometry linked between parts. Don't ask, I have been told and will do as I am told ( trust me I fought as...

    Need some advanced training

    I have been on UG for the past 13 years. The last training I went to was freeform modeling in 2006. What or where can I go to learn "best practices" for things like the "reuse library" and other changes and advancements? I look at the courses offered and have been thru most of them way back...

    Edit object display and translucency

    I am working in NX8.0.3.4 Why is it that when I edit object display to change a face color it asks if I want to turn on translucency? I always have to click NO. But there is a "yes always" button. If I mess up and hit the yes always, because I happen to get click happy, then I am stuck with...
